hiya! whats up.. I hope you can help me do this in a productive way

question..... I have a domain called " chinesedemocracy.com " which is just an 'addon domain' right now with my account gunsnroses.us & using cpanel6.

question is.... being I share a forum ( http://www.newgnr.com/bbs/index.php ) with another site, how can I make it so when people type in the URL chinesedemocracy.com so that it always shows up in the "address" box as chinesedemocracy.com but it's really http://www.newgnr.com/bbs/index.php ??
FYI chinesedemocracy.com is with godaddy reg.. Not sure how to do this

so I want the domain to point to my friends site's FORUM BUT with it always showing up as "chinesedemocracy.com" in the URL

thanx much for any help

One way is to create a borderless frame so that it shows up within the single frame. So the exact url would always be hidden.

hehe!

Yes.. I already did this! & is a little quick fix

www.chinesedemocracy.com & then there is a link that goes to the forum

BUT the downside of this is a cookie issue for how the php forum works...... it gets buggy & when you go to check you IM's .... it makes the user sign in again & when they do, chinesedemocracy.com goes away.

so I have to do the other option :) just don't know how but know it can be done

add 'ServerAlias chinesedemocracy.com www.chinesedemocracy.com' to httpd.conf inside your newgnr localhost

or use mod_proxy's ProxyPass to forward one to the other
